More from ~Xi-Theta

Sonnet for LoveThe light is dawning in the winter sky
And sitting by the fireside I know,
That as I smile and night begins to die
My love for you will ever thrive and grow.
When thought me that the world had passed me by
And seeds of sorrow in my garden sow,
I found that in my heart enthroned you lie;
More loved by me than you could ever know.

Return my kiss, the rose I offer you
And we'll find our happiness from there;
I've seen that my life's love was overdue
And in return I offer every care.
I'm on the cusp of saying "love is true"
If you'll keep me, all my world to share.
The Red StringTwo hundred miles of pain between us, the red string taut.
It binds us heart to heart, from hand to hand, mind to mind.
Stretched tight the threads, we reach out for one another.
Tears and longing, each person incomplete.
Unaware, the earth divides us.
Along the cord, love multiplies.
Wheel of the YearThe Longest Night is here, the Kings are in battle.
With the sunrise comes the spring, the blossoming of all things
Known or unknowable, we await the coming dawn.
Holly wanes, Oak rises; The Wheel of the Year turns once more.

And the riddle that inspired it:

What blooms but never wilts,
Grows but never dies,
Enveloping yet invisible,
Known yet unknowable?
The Two Hundred Mile LamentChristmas time has lost its sparkle,
Its magic, its innocence per se:
My pillow's makeup stained tonight;
I cry my bleeding heart away.

So much build up, so much hype,
To choose a gift that they might like
But I spend my midnights sobbing
For my love, so far away.

I can't enjoy the Yuletide now
Alone again, once more
Surrounded by my family
Whilst my heart it weeps full sore.

In times like these I somehow think
"Now whats the use, this feeling?
"Lock away your heart my girl,
"Leave to fools their dreaming."

But I fear that time my eyes grow dry,
Of the solace that could bring,
For my heart, like snow, might melt away
